One of the problems in France was that the people were divided into 3 estates the clergy, noble, and commoners with the king above them all.
A second problem was that the 2 estates had all the power since each estate only got one vote. This meant that the most the people as commoners could be out voted by the other two much smaller groups.
The king wanted more money so he wanted to raise taxes on the commoners.
